Trainspotting. I do feel like it kept me away from drugs though.
I saw this one in my late teens, and it was good, but it was way better as an adult.
It wasn't too early for me to see it but Requiem for a Dream is also an excellent cautionary movie about heroin, addiction, and mental health.
Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
"It's shite being Scottish. We're the lowest of the low. Some people hate the English. The English are just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers. We can't even find a decent civilization to be colonised by. It's a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air isn't going to change any of that, Tommy."
That was from memory, let's see how I did!
"It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low! The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation! Some people hate the English, I don't! They're just wankers! We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers! Can't even find a decent culture to be colonised by! We're ruled by effete assholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!"
Not too bad after a few decades.
Defiantly not bad from memory.
Mine was a cut and paste, I tried from memory but got so much wrong, mostly out of order and forgot a few lines.
